    When HASN'T hiring been broken? I looked back (70's on) and found that networking was my main source of interviews, and jobs, if you exclude a certain fruit company, in my career.

    Employers just found a new failure mode, (AI) and I see no improvement in sight, except some ideas regarding proof of work. So, it's AI against AI now.

    Hoping this gets better, but not optimistic.

    Does one have to start a company and get acquihired just to get a job? (AI could be the key (word)). I almost landed a job at a company that was shortly bought by Google (and trashed). Glad now that I didn't get the job.

    It has needed complete reinvention forever, rather than escalation of the previous failure modes.

    Is Triplebyte spamming again?
